history
Brandlauken / Brandfelde
The later manor , which was founded before 1498 and then called Branthlawckenn, was until 1945 a residential area integrated into the municipality or city of Labiau (today in Russian: Polessk). On June 3, 1938 (with official confirmation of 16 July 1938), the place in "fire field" was renamed .
Friedlacken
Friedlacken was a Köllmian box that existed at least as early as the 17th century. As a rural community, the place was added to the Legitten district in 1874 and incorporated into Groß Legitten in 1928.
Svobodny
After northern East Prussia came to the Soviet Union as a result of the war, the two places Friedlacken and Brandlauken were combined under the Russian name Swobodny in 1950. At the same time Svobodny was classified in the village soviet Mordovsky, later the village soviet Tjuleninski , in Polessk district. From 2008 to 2016 the place, which now only covers the Friedlacken branch, belonged to the rural municipality of Turgenewskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Polessk.
